This one's for you, Key.
Alexander Calder's "Shiva" as seen through the glorified human-sized gerbil-tubes that connect the major buildings in Kansas City.
Forest Park, St. Louis.
3.5 Billion reasons I'm glad I don't live in the midwest. These things are awful to put it mildly.
Stanhopia (upside-down blooming orchid)
at Missouri Botanical.
Chihuly Glass exhibit in the greenhouse at MoBot.
I think these look like ranid fungi.
There are some great Ginkgo trees there.
You (predominantly) gals will like this cute little garden.
The hardy outdoor-type bananas.
Musa basjoo
Home sweet 4-wheel home for two weeks.
The flight cage at the St. Louis Zoo is not small. I hope the birds fared well in the recent windstorm.
Pat's Pets.
'Aca's Coral Beauty.'
Achimenes Peach Glow. (Sorry it's a bit blurred)
'Cardinal Velvet' is wild.
I walk walking around, sweating like a fountain in his greenhouse, thinking "The AV forum bunch would have a hayday in here. More pictures."
A. 'Apricot Glow' Unusual dark leaves.
'Black Ace' with bad composition.
Allison, here's to you:
the vintage
'Ode to Beauty.'
Illinois.
Read the sign.
Eh?
(The purchase from Pat's Pets: Rob's Boolaroo.)
This is his "starter plant" size by the way.
The house of a DGer in Illinois. I want to get her permission before I say who she is. The most artistic garden and neatest house. She says that this rose on the front goes into a full bloom in the spring. I like her grass hedge, too.
The Master Gardener's "Idea Garden" in Champaign, IL is a treat.
I wish there were Bald Cypress trees (like JungleBob's) in Colorado. These were in the U of I arboretum.
Don't ask what I'm doing. It's a trade secret.
A sort of Drawbridge on the Mississippi.
I have to insert this. Just funny stuff.
At a Gas stop in Colorado, I watched this clever dog in the hot midday..
His eyes followed impatiently as his owner walked into the convenience store for pizza. The dog methodicaly nudged open the truck cab back window until it was wide enough to get into the releif of air-conditioning...
Two feet on the fire and two feet in the fridge?
I love how his back legs flounder in teh air in this picture:
sorry for the triple post.

While soaking in the cooler air, he watched the front door closely until it produced his master with Pizza in hand. The dog savored the coolness hesitantly as the man walked across the parking lot. When he was within a few feet of the truck, he put his available hand on his hip in an admonishing way, and the dog neatly squeezed back into his pidgeonhole in society.
I thank anyone still with me on this little escapade. I also encourage you to see a doctor about mal-prolonged-attention-sydrome
Denver on rush hour. Pretty in a boxy way.
Ah, the Finale.
KayJone's place.
Off of the drive.
Her border garden.
Just all-around well-done.
Heading down the patio a ways and looking back.
I forget who this nice thing is.
The most brilliant hanging basket I've seen this year. Sedum sarmentosum in predominance.
That's all, folks.
Now, what's wrong with you? Go read a book!
